The win is either very good news for Lyon or very good news for Marseille.Saturday night will now be interesting.Lyon v The Biscuits who also need a win or draw and Marseille v Earl of Aldborough/Baron Baltinglass/The Train Station. (a lot of interest in this because of the Irish connection)Lyon with a one point advantage going into the last.

In case you missed it, its becauze you dont build the biggest brand in soccer off the back of boring, defensive football. See: Man United, Barcelona, Bayern, even Man City now.

Manchester City suffered an early Champions league exit because they left themselves wide open defensively against Liverpool. The good Barcelona,Bayern Munich and Manchester United sides that were winning European cups were also good in defence the current Real Madrid side are not and they are ideal opponents for a free scoring Liverpool side to play in the final.

Great finish to German Cup Final there, big underdogs Frankfurt beating Bayern 3-1. Video ref denied Bayern a penalty to equalize in injury time which could have been given. Frankfurt break up the field and walk into an empty net for 3-1. Chaos
